Answer:

D. The presence of aquaporins (proteins that form water channels in the membrane) should speed up the process of osmosis.

Explanation:

Water moves in the cells through osmosis which means water moves from its higher concentration to lower concentration. In many animals and plants, water channels are also present which is called aquaporins which allow the water to move through it in and out of cell more quickly.

The rate of diffusion by channel proteins is higher than simple diffusion therefore the aquaporins speed up the process of osmosis. No ATP is required to transport the water through aquaporin channel proteins.

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: there are two processes that takes place in cardiac cycle. These procesesss comprises of complete relaxation and contraction of both the atria and ventricles which usually last for about 0.8 seconds. Starting with the chambers in the diastole, blood flows passively from the veins into the atria and past the atrioventicular valves into the ventricles. Contraction begins in the atria following the depolarization of the atria and blood is pumped into the ventricles. The ventricles begins contraction by raising pressure within the ventricles.
